About

When I ask my clients what brings them to therapy, I am often told it is because they are feeling “stuck.” Many of my clients struggle with questions related to values and life purpose. Others may require support navigating difficult transitions, setting boundaries, or overcoming burnout in their professional lives and relationships. I specialize in the treatment of stress, anxiety, depression and ADHD using evidence-based approaches. Additionally, I provide preparation/integration for therapeutic ketamine sessions, helping you to make sense of and assimilate the insights you gained during these experiences into your daily life. My approach tends to be action-oriented, solutions-focused, and values-driven. I encourage my clients to get curious about themselves and to work towards replacing self-judgement with empathy. I have been told that I “ask the tough questions,” but that this helps foster insight, understanding, and new perspectives that enable lasting and meaningful change. By working collaboratively with you, I can help you gain clarity and direction toward your values and goals, empower you to confront challenges and embrace change, and equip you with the skills necessary to move from feeling stuck to feeling fulfilled and meaningfully engaged in life.
